December Lyrics – Neck Deep
December Song Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ben Barlow]
Stumbled 'round the block a thousand times
You missed every call that I had tried
So now I'm giving up
A heartbreak in mid-December
You don't give a fμcκ
You'd never remember me
While you're pulling on his jeans
Getting lost in the big city
I was looking out our window
Watching all the cars go
Wondering if I'll see Chicago
Or a sunset on the West Coast
Or will I die in the cold?
Feeling blue and alone
I wonder if you'll ever hear this song on your stereo
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I hope you get your ballroom floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long, lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
That's the last thing I remember
It's been a long, lonely December
[Verse 2: Ben Barlow]
Cast me aside to show yourself in a better light
I came out grieving, barely breathing, and you came out alright
But I'm sure you'll take his hand
I hope he's better than I ever could've been
My mistakes were not intentions
This is a list of my confessions I couldn't say
[Pre-Chorus: Ben Barlow]
Pain is never permanent, but tonight it's killing me
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I hope you get your ballroom floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long, lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
But I was passed out on the floor
That's the last thing I remember
It's been a long, lonely December
[Bridge: Ben Barlow]
I miss your face, you're in my head
There's so many things that I should've said
A year of suffering, a lesson learned
I miss your face, you're in my head
There's so many things that I should've said
A year of suffering, a lesson learned
[Chorus: Ben Barlow]
I hope you get your ballroom floor
Your perfect house with rose red doors
I'm the last thing you'd remember
It's been a long, lonely December
I wish I'd known that less is more
(I miss you, but I wish you well)
But I was passed out on the floor
(I miss you, but I wish you well)
That's the last thing I remember
(I miss you, yeah, I miss you)
It's been a long, lonely December
December Lyrics Explained
The lyrics of "December" by Neck Deep reflect a narrative of heartbreak, regret, and longing. The protagonist recounts a failed relationship, expressing the pain of being forgotten by a former partner. The lyrics convey a sense of loneliness, self-reflection, and the passage of time, with a focus on the month of December serving as a metaphor for the emotional coldness and distance in the relationship.
[Verse 1]
The singer describes the repetitive nature of trying to connect with the ex-partner, who seems indifferent and unresponsive. The mention of missing calls and the indifference in mid-December suggests a poignant sense of rejection and emotional detachment. The vivid imagery of watching cars and contemplating distant places reflects the protagonist's loneliness and desire for connection.
[Chorus]
The chorus captures the singer's wishes for the ex-partner's happiness, envisioning an idealized life with a ballroom floor and a perfect house. However, the acknowledgment of a long, lonely December and the regret over not realizing that "less is more" hint at the pain and mistakes that linger. The repetition of the phrase emphasizes the enduring emotional impact of the past.
[Verse 2]
The second verse delves into the aftermath of the breakup, highlighting the emotional toll on the singer. There's a sense of bitterness as the ex-partner seemingly moves on effortlessly, leaving the protagonist in emotional distress. The mention of mistakes not being intentional indicates regret, and the list of confessions suggests a desire for closure and honesty.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus reflects on the temporary nature of pain but emphasizes the acute suffering experienced in the moment. The contradictory emotions of recognizing pain as transient while being overwhelmed by it create a poignant contrast.
[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus reinforces the theme of longing and the difficulty of moving on. The wish for the ex-partner's happiness is juxtaposed with the personal struggles and memories of being passed out on the floor, symbolizing emotional distress and perhaps substance abuse as a coping mechanism.
[Bridge]
The bridge expresses the singer's internal turmoil, missing the ex-partner and ruminating on the things left unsaid. The acknowledgment of a year of suffering as a lesson learned suggests personal growth amid the heartache.
[Chorus]
The final chorus reiterates the desire for the ex-partner's well-being and happiness, emphasizing the duality of missing them while also expressing a wish for their better future. The lingering feelings and the enduring impact of a long, lonely December resonate throughout the song, encapsulating the complex emotions of heartbreak and self-discovery.
